(iii) It is used to derive Wiedemann Franz law. (iv) It is used to explain the optical properties of metal. 2. What are the drawbacks of classical free electron theory?

It is the product of drift velocity of the electron (v d ) and collision time (η) 4. Define relaxation time of an electron. λ = v d τ c The average time taken by a free electron to reach its equilibrium position from its disturbed position due to application of an external electrical field is called relaxation time. 5. Define drift velocity of electron. How is it different from the thermal velocity of an electron? The average velocity acquired by a free electron in a particular direction due to the application of an electrical field is called drift velocity. It is denoted as v d.. 6.
